Posted on January 27, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Blizzard 2016: May God Have Mercy on the Hedges

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m scheduling this one instead of writing it tomorrow.  The reason is because we’re supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow.  Yes, people are getting worse elsewhere.  Yes, people overreact to winter storm warnings.  None of that matters because I … Continue reading →

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

Today I have a mysterious piece from Crossing Bedlam.  Hardest part about excerpts from Bedlam is that they don’t always work out of context.  A brief explanation of what’s going on here is that Cassidy and Lloyd have gotten into … Continue reading →

Evolution of a Villain

Posted on January 15, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

One part of The Mercenary Prince that I’ve yet to mention is that it’s a big step in Stephen Kernaghan’s development.  This seems to be running alongside Delvin’s journey and it isn’t pretty.  Mostly because he’s a sadistic monster who has … Continue reading →
